[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2224808, member: 518059"] When I started measuring blood sugar, I didn't have much guidance, the nurse just showed me how to do it. As a scientist, I know that you have to do this systematically and since I was measuring my weight in the mornings, I decided to do the same with the blood sugar. The values started dropping along with the weight until I reached about 6.0 mmol/l on average. This was enough for me. Basically I am testing my engine on empty. I could test after eating, but then I would need to carry the test kit to work, which I don't really want. I understand that carbs are the problem. On fast days I don't eat any food which is high on carbs. [/QUOTE]
